Walking, talking. Watching, caring. This is how we grow This is how we learn to know Breathing, singing. Forgiving, healing. This is how we grow This is how we learn to know Life’s got plans for you But you don’t know just where the road is gonna lead Sometimes you gotta make that leap of faith and I’ll be beside you. Sharing, giving. Loving, living. This is how we grow This is how we learn to know No matter where you go whichever path you take, you cannot escape the you that’s got to look you in the face and I’ll be beside you no matter where you go whichever path you take, you cannot escape the you that’s got to look you in the face. I’ll be beside you.

Bus Stops 03:44
Riding the bus again, takes me down town Rocking cradle streets, where to go now? Bus stops, faces come and go And then we start again Rain washes clean, the streets shine like silver Damp soaked in, made me shiver Bus stops, faces come and go And then we start again It’s not what you know or who you know But whether anyone takes the time Or spares the dime Maybe I’m left behind Or maybe we’re going nowhere? These shoes and rags and all the things I have in this LinkedIn tote bag A little Silicon Valley souvenir That trickled down to me… Steel glass concrete beams rise above me On these mean streets, shadows haunt me Bus stops, faces come and go And then we start again It’s not what you know or who you know But whether anyone takes the time Or spares the dime Maybe I’m left behind Or maybe we’re going nowhere? These shoes and rags and all the things I have in this LinkedIn tote bag A little Silicon Valley souvenir That trickled down to me… On these Seattle streets

Wild Wind 03:48
It's a wild wind that blows It's a wild wind that follows you here This wild wind reveals This wild wind, it fuels your fear Give me shelter from the storm Pray these walls around my home protect me Everything I've ever known All the things I call my own and hold dear And hold dear And it's knocking on And it’s knocking down And we're holding on As it’s blowing in And it’s blowing in And it’s knocking down everything And we're holding on We're holding on It's a wild wind that blows It’s a wild wind that blew us here It tore us from our homes And it tore us from the things we held dear Let's travel on the breeze Fill our sails and like the seeds Carry me Let's travel on the breeze Fill our hearts and like the seeds carry me Carry you and me And we're sailing on And we're sailing in And we're holding on As it’s blowing in And we're moving on And it’s blowing through everything And we're holding on We're holding on

I see you looking sad, think the world’s gone mad, don’t you? Think it’s such a mess, and I must confess I do too Heart stuck on your sleeve – but it’s safe with you – and you’re safe with me So honey, put your money where your mouth is, go for it Nobody but for you is gonna care one bit about it Whatcha waiting for honey? Take a baby step, use some elbow grease, what you give doubles what you get Hmm? Whatcha gonna do about it? Why do you hesitate? I guess it’s better late than never Try to take it slow; but you have to start, to know. Don’t you? Making a little change makes you so scared, makes you feel so strange So honey, put your money where your mouth is, go for it Nobody but for you is gonna care one bit about it Whatcha waiting for honey? Take a baby step, use some elbow grease, what you give doubles what you get Hmm? Whatcha gonna do about it? Whatcha gonna do? Don’t wanna get pushed around? You’ll have to stand your ground, won’t you? Can you take a risk and not be an activist? I don’t know. You want the world to be a better place for you, a better place for me So honey, put your money where your mouth is, go for it Nobody but for you is gonna care one bit about it Whatcha waiting for honey? Take a baby step, use some elbow grease, what you give doubles what you get Hmm? Whatcha gonna do about it? Hmm? Whatcha gonna do?

Holiday Song 03:53
The only call I here Are the birds in the trees Not alarmed, not afraid It’s for you and for me That’s the holiday song And it’s playing right now Past the clouds it is singing out loud Sepia shadows in holiday light Draw long as the day turns to night No traffic to drown out The children’s delight Take a breath Taste the scent Open up to the wondrous not yet Not doing is the source of regret That’s the holiday song And it’s playing right now Past the clouds it is singing out loud Sepia shadows in holiday light Draw long as the day turns to night No traffic to drown out The children’s delight

Dreamy Girl 03:31
Wrapped in a sleepy sky Bright with a harvest moon We sat my love and I Listening to the night The stars so kind above Shone with a silver grace The time was ripe for love In our warm embrace Ooh, a perfect night for lovers Ooh, a perfect place for love Ooh, a perfect tune in harmony Ooh, a perfect time for you and me And when the poets sing Of their sweet muse so rare So do the Bard’s words ring Into electric air Love’s not Time’s fool, he claims An ever-fixéd mark, It is the star, he quoth To every wandering bark Ooh, a perfect night for lovers Ooh, a perfect place for love Ooh, a perfect tune in harmony Ooh, a perfect time for you and me

Unprotected 03:45
I appeal to your conscience I appeal to your sense Of compassion and honour To your self-respect I appeal to ambition I appeal to your “why?” When our children remember Will your name they decry? Unprotected We are strong when we are one Set them free We are strong when we are one Bring them here I appeal to your values Ideas that inspired These things that once shaped you Are they still recognised? I appeal to the village In whose love you were raised That you’re taking for granted As you take and you take and you take We are strong when we are one Set them free We are strong when we are one Bring them here I appeal to your cunning Your ego and pride That will oust you from here Just as it got you inside I appeal to the future To whatever comes next Will the torch that you hand down Be nearly as blessed Unprotected We are strong when we are one Set them free We are strong when we are one Bring them here We are strong when we are one Set them free, bring them here, let them stay

about

"All The Way Home’s debut album is a sparkling collection of acoustic duets for thinkers, lovers, and anyone who cares about our planet... Songwriters with something to say and artful ways to say it. Songs worth singing, learning and sharing. Voices of contrasting timbre rubbing against each other like branches of tall trees. Lyrics that require unstitching, and riffs that reward the ear." – Michael Winkler, author
